Read below for more if you dare . . .

THE GATHERING | C.J. Tudor
Welcome to Deadhart, Alaska. Population 673. Living. Journey into the ice-cold heart of an Alaskan town as Detective Barbara is under pressure to solve the case of a boy found with his throat ripped out – are they hunting a cold-blooded murderer, or a bloodthirsty monster?

HEADS WILL ROLL | Josh Winning
Willow checks into a digital detox camp where she hears the tale ‘Knock Knock Nancy’; a grizzly story about a vengeful ghost. But Willow doesn’t believe in ghosts – until she hears it: Knock. Knock. Knock.

MURDER ROAD | Simone St. James
April and Eddie have taken a wrong turn. The road is long and dark. A woman stumbles up ahead. April and Eddie stop and pick her up – it’s only once she’s in the car they see the blood. Then come the headlights racing behind them like eyes, and finally, the woman speaks. “I’m sorry, he’s coming.”
